Modern Pentathlon Fencing Bouts

Title: Modern Pentathlon Fencing Bouts
Subject: Olympic Games (11th : 1936 : Berlin, Germany); Épée Fencing
Description: Fencing bouts in the modern pentathlon event during the 1936 Olympic Games, held at the Tennisplatz (Tennis Courts) of the Reichssportfeldes (now Olympiapark Berlin). While the fencing portion of the modern pentathlon is documented to have occurred at the Haus des Deutschen Sports, the caption on this photograph testifies that some bouts occurred on the Tennisplatz. Other images in the collection seem to corroborate this—see relations.

Caption on reverse:
